Lately, Hublot celebrated the outlet from the first American mountain resort boutique in Aspen, and launched a unique edition from the new Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Rockies Blue Dial Watch Replica. Celebrations incorporate a ribbon-cutting ceremony, a party along with a dinner using the brand's Buddies Olympic Gold Medalist, World Champion Bode Miller.
Blue Dial
Using the standard titanium Spirit of Big Bang as a blueprint, the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Rockies Limited Edition 42mm men's watch fake is housed in a bright white ceramic case with contrasting blue subdials and a blue integrated rubber strap, which lends it a decidedly wintertime feel, albeit a cheerful one - a clear bluebird day on the mountain, with sharp contrast between snow and sky. More often than not, white ceramic watches come off as too smooth or glossy, with a "flat" aesthetic that doesn't exactly endear itself to a high-end luxury product. But this one is different - and if you're new to the tonneau-shaped Spirit of Big Bang, it’s one of Hublot's signature collections; unapologetically bold and bristling with interesting lines, facets, and contrasting blasted and polished finishes. All this textured variety thankfully breaks up the surface of the watch, lending it an extremely dynamic and, ahem, "cool" presence on the wrist.42mm Case
Better still, the new Hublot Rockies edition watch fake only measures 42mm across, making it wholly wearable on a wide range of wrist sizes, despite the fact that it’s obviously not for everyone (though that’s hardly the point). On Bode Miller’s massive ski-racer wrist, the flared strap is fully flush against the wrist with the clasp secured at its furthest extension. On my skinny 6.5' bike-racer wrist, though, the strap flares out a bit, leaving small gaps to the skin on both sides, though the case itself rests right where it should. I'd imagine this would make for a much more comfortable wear on one of Hublot's leather strap options. Like much of the rest of the Spirit of Big Bang watches, the whole package is highly technical, yet sporty and playful, and maybe even a little bit defiant in the sense that it feels like an expression of counter-culture - a friendly jab at the traditional skiing establishment and an about-face on what a Swiss watch "should be."HUB4700 Calibre
Like the rest of the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang chronographs replica, this reference is fitted with Hublot’s in-house-produced HUB4700 calibre, a high-frequency (5Hz) automatic chronograph movement that's a brand staple, deployed in its more premiere offerings. It's worth noting that, though Bode Miller didn't play a role in the design of the Aspen edition, he does already have his own signature model: a black ceramic Big Bang designed in collaboration back in 2011, with a portion of its proceeds benefiting Miller's Turtle Ridge Foundation, a nonprofit that supports adaptive and youth sports programs.
